There may be several main GFI outlets on your unit. Each one may also protect several standard downstream outlets that have a (GFCI protected) sticker on them but no reset or test buttons. The master GFCI outlet is reset by pushing the reset button between the two sockets. They are usually located one in the bathroom, one possible in kitchen area and one possible in outside outlet. If the breaker is tripped as well, they will not reset until the breaker is reset.

There is usually a couple of outlets with the actual GFCI. Find them and push in the test and reset buttons. same as in your house. If no power is getting to it, check the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker is fine, unless youare very comfortable working on electrical stuff, get the dealer to check it out. The GFCI outlet may be bad.

Good to go

I found the GFI plug that reset the bank of protected plugs. Thank you for your reply.

Welcome to the forum from Missouri. Congratulation on your new surveyor. I am glad you were able to get your GFI problem figured out.

Welcome and congratulations! As you have just learned - ask, and you shall be answered. I've gotten many answers here over the past 5 years...just wish I'd known about this forum when I got my first Forest River product 12 years ago.
